TOPIC: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
MEMORISE: ‘I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth.'(Ps 121:1-2)
Have you felt caged in? Have you seen yourself in a very tight corner’ are you faced with temptation to sin? Simply look up to him and he will make a way for you. Your help is in God’s custody: go to him and receive it. You are not stranded. You will come out of that tight corner!
Look up! ‘There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able: but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it’ (1 Cor 10:13). The siege that enveloped Samaria, recorded in 2 Kings 6:24-30, left the city completely surrounded on all sides, except from above.
A woman who was affected to the point of eating her son cried to the king, who was the best person, humanly speaking, who could offer some help. But the king himself was under siege – he told her his power as king was equally reduced by the siege and asked her to look up to the only possible place of help remaining, that is, to God! ‘I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth’ (Ps 121:1-2).
Do not yield to the pressure of that temptation. God is the haven of rest for those who are tempted – run to him and be safe. Just look up to him and ask him to show you the way out. Then listen to your spirit. After all, he is the very present help in times of trouble. Your enemies may surround you, but God will surround them, thereby making them a sitting target for his missiles.
The enemies surrounding you are standing on God’s own soil and therefore, just as it happened to Korah, Dathan and Abiram in Numbers 16:23-33, the ground will open and swallow them. Only look up to God for help.
Prayer: Thank you Lord for you are always there for me and I pray that every impossibility in my life becomes possible in Jesus Name.
